Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein System umfassend eine Komponente einer klimatechnischen Anlage mit einer Öffnung, insbesondere eine Komponente mit einer in einer Gehäusewandung vorgesehenen Revisionsöffnung, und einem Verschlusselement zum Verschließen der Öffnung, wobei das Verschlusselement in seiner Verschließposition die Öffnung außenseitig vollständig abdeckt und einen zumindest bereichsweise in die Öffnung hineinragenden Einführbereich umfasst.The invention relates to a system comprising a component of an air conditioning system with an opening, in particular a component with a provided in a housing wall inspection opening, and a closure element for closing the opening, wherein the closure element completely covers the opening in its closing position on the outside and at least partially in includes the insertion opening projecting into the opening.

In einer Komponenten einer klimatechnischen Anlage, wie beispielsweise einem Kanalelement, kann eine Revisionsöffnung vorgesehen sein, die mit einem Verschlusselement verschließbar ist. Dieses Verschlusselement kann beispielsweise zu Wartungszwecken entfernt und anschließend wieder montiert werden. Ein bekanntes Verschlusselement weist einen zylindrisch ausgebildeten Einführbereich auf, der in die Öffnung hineinragt. Zur Fixierung sind Muttern auf die Komponente aufgeschweißt. Das Verschlusselement weist entsprechende Bohrungen auf, durch die dann Schrauben hindurchgeführt werden können. Allerdings ist die Montage und auch Demontage zeitaufwendig. Da es sich um mehrere und zum Teil auch kleine Bauteile handelt, können diese auch leicht verloren gehen.In a component of an air conditioning system, such as a channel element, an inspection opening may be provided which can be closed with a closure element. This closure element can be removed for maintenance purposes, for example, and then reassembled. A known closure element has a cylindrically shaped insertion region which projects into the opening. For fixing nuts are welded onto the component. The closure element has corresponding holes through which screws can then be passed. However, the assembly and disassembly is time consuming. Since it is several and sometimes even small components, these can easily be lost.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die vorgenannten Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein System anzugeben, dessen Verschlusselement leichter anbringbar und auch gleichermaßen leicht wieder entfernbar ist.The object of the invention is to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages and to provide a system whose closure element is easier to attach and also equally easy to remove again.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass der Einführbereich sowie die Öffnung mehreckig, insbesondere sechseckig, ausgebildet sind, wobei der Einführbereich so in Bezug auf die Öffnung dimensioniert ist, dass der Einführbereich durch die Öffnung einführbar ist, und dass zumindest Teilbereiche der Randbereiche von der Öffnung und von dem Einführbereich nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses ausgebildet sind, so dass das Verschlusselement durch Verdrehen in die Verschließrichtung, d. h. aus der Montageposition in seine Verschließposition, verlagerbar ist. Für die Montage muss lediglich der Einführbereich in die Öffnung eingeführt und anschließend das komplette Verschlusselement in oder entgegen den Uhrzeigersinn in seine Verschließposition verdreht werden. Irgendwelcher Hilfsmittel bedarf es hierzu nicht. Die Montage und die Demontage ist damit sehr einfach. Weitere bisher erforderliche Bauteile, wie beispielweise Schrauben, können demzufolge auch nicht verloren gehen.This object is achieved in that the insertion region and the opening polygonal, in particular hexagonal, are formed, wherein the insertion region is dimensioned in relation to the opening, that the insertion region is insertable through the opening, and that at least portions of the edge regions of the opening and formed by the insertion area in the manner of a bayonet closure, so that the closure element by twisting in the closing direction, d. H. from the mounting position in its Verschließposition, is displaced. For assembly, only the insertion area has to be inserted into the opening and then the complete closure element has to be turned clockwise or counterclockwise into its closing position. Any aid is not required. The assembly and disassembly is very easy. Other previously required components, such as screws, therefore can not be lost.

Die Teilbereiche der Randbereiche von der Öffnung der Komponente und von dem Einführbereich des Verschlusselementes, die nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses ausgebildet sind, können zumindest in einer Ecke, insbesondere in sämtlichen Ecken, angeordnet sein. Insbesondere bei einer Anordnung, bei der in jeder Ecke der Öffnung einerseits und des Einführbereiches andererseits die nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses ausgebildeten Teilbereiche der Randbereiche angeordnet sind, wird das Verschlusselement über seinem Umfang sicher fixiert.The partial regions of the edge regions of the opening of the component and of the insertion region of the closure element, which are designed in the manner of a bayonet closure, can be arranged at least in one corner, in particular in all corners. In particular, in an arrangement in which in each corner of the opening on the one hand and the insertion on the other hand, the art a bayonet closure formed portions of the edge regions are arranged, the closure element is securely fixed over its circumference.

Die nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses ausgebildeten Teilbereiche der Randbereiche von Öffnung und Einführbereich können als Nut-/Federverbindung ausgestaltet sein, wobei entweder die Nut in dem Randbereich des Einführbereiches angeordnet ist und die Feder durch den Randbereich der Öffnung gebildet ist oder die Feder durch den Randbereich des Einführbereiches gebildet ist und die Nut in dem Randbereich der Öffnung angeordnet ist, wobei in der Verschließposition jede Feder in seiner korrespondierenden Nut aufgenommen ist.The formed in the manner of a bayonet closure portions of the edge regions of the opening and insertion can be configured as a tongue and groove connection, either the groove is disposed in the edge region of the insertion and the spring is formed by the edge region of the opening or the spring through the edge region of the Insertion region is formed and the groove is arranged in the edge region of the opening, wherein in the closing position, each spring is received in its corresponding groove.

Handelt es sich bei der Komponente beispielsweise um ein Kanalgehäuse aus Blech, bietet sich an, wenn der Randbereich der Öffnung die Feder darstellt und die Nut in dem Randbereich des Einführbereiches angeordnet ist. In der Verschließposition wird die Feder, d. h. in diesem Fall der Randbereich der Öffnung, in der korrespondierenden Nut des Einführbereiches aufgenommen.If the component is, for example, a channel housing made of sheet metal, it is advisable if the edge region of the opening represents the spring and the groove is arranged in the edge region of the insertion region. In the closing position, the spring, i. H. in this case, the edge region of the opening, received in the corresponding groove of the insertion.

Bei einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist zumindest eine Nut in dem Randbereich des Einführbereiches, insbesondere in dem Randbereich der Ecke des Einführbereiches, angeordnet und diese Nut ist zum einen durch eine Fläche des Verschlusselementes, die in der Verschließposition mit der Außenseite der Komponente in Kontakt, insbesondere in flächigem Kontakt, ist, und zum anderen durch einen seitlich gegenüber dem Einführbereich vorstehenden Abschnitt gebildet.In a preferred embodiment, at least one groove is arranged in the edge region of the insertion region, in particular in the edge region of the corner of the insertion region, and this groove is on the one hand by a surface of the closure element in contact with the outside of the component in the closing position, in particular planar contact is, and on the other by a laterally opposite the insertion projecting portion formed.

Um ein selbststätiges Zuziehen des Verschlusselementes zu erzielen, bietet sich an, wenn sich der Abstand A zwischen der Fläche des Verschlusselementes und dem Abschnitt in Verschließrichtung gesehen verringert, da der Abschnitt in Verschließrichtung gesehen schräg in Richtung der Fläche, die in der Verschließposition mit der Außenseite der Komponente in Kontakt ist, weisend ausgerichtet ist. Beim Verdrehen in Verschließrichtung zieht sich das Verschlusselement dadurch selbst fest.In order to achieve a self-closing closing of the closure element, it is advisable if the distance A between the surface of the closure element and the portion decreases in the closing direction, as seen in the direction of closing obliquely in the direction of the surface in the Verschließposition with the outside the component is in contact, facing. When twisting in the closing direction, the closure element thereby pulls itself tight.

Der Einführbereich und die Öffnung können die gleiche Anzahl an Ecken aufweisen.The insertion area and the opening may have the same number of corners.

Das Verschlusselement kann einen außenseitigen Betätigungsgriff aufweisen. Dies erlaubt eine einfache Montage und Demontage des Verschlusselementes von außen.The closure element may have an outside actuating handle. This allows easy assembly and disassembly of the closure element from the outside.

Zumindest eine Ecke des Einführbereiches und/oder zumindest eine Ecke der Öffnung kann abgerundet ausgebildet sein. Hierdurch werden scharfe Ecken vermieden und die Verletzungsgefahr reduziert.At least one corner of the lead-in area and / or at least one corner of the opening can be rounded. This avoids sharp corners and reduces the risk of injury.

Das Verschlusselement kann aus Metall oder einem anderen geeigneten Material bestehen.The closure element may be made of metal or another suitable material.

Das Verschlusselement kann zumindest in dem mit dem Rand der Öffnung zusammenwirkenden Bereich, vorzugsweise vollständig, aus Kunststoff bestehen.The closure element may, at least in the area cooperating with the edge of the opening, preferably completely made of plastic.

In allen Figuren werden für gleiche bzw. gleichartige Bauteile übereinstimmende Bezugszeichen verwendet.In all figures the same reference numerals are used for identical or similar components.

In den Figuren ist ein Ausschnitt einer Komponente 1 mit einer sechseckigen Öffnung 2 dargestellt. Die Öffnung 2 kann mit einem Verschlusselement 3 verschlossen werden, das einen Einführbereich 4 mit ebenfalls sechs Ecken aufweist.In the figures, a section of a component 1 with a hexagonal opening 2 is shown. The opening 2 can be closed with a closure element 3, which has an insertion region 4 with also six corners.

Wie beispielsweise den Fig. 2 und 6 zu entnehmen ist, sind die Ecken der Öffnung 2 und die Ecken des Einführbereiches 4 abgerundet ausgebildet.Such as the Fig. 2 and 6 can be seen, the corners of the opening 2 and the corners of the insertion 4 are rounded.

Der Einführbereich 4 ist hinsichtlich seiner Dimensionierung so gewählt, dass er etwas kleiner ist, als die Öffnung 2 in der Komponente 1, so dass der Einführbereich 4 in der Montageposition in die Öffnung 2 eingeführt und aus dieser herausgezogen werden kann.The insertion region 4 is chosen in terms of its dimensions so that it is slightly smaller than the opening 2 in the component 1, so that the insertion region 4 can be inserted in the mounting position in the opening 2 and pulled out of this.

In Fig. 6 ist das Verschlusselement 3 mit seinem in die Öffnung 2 eingeführten Einführbereich 4 in seiner Montageposition dargestellt. Deutlich erkennbar ist, dass die Ecken des Einführbereichs 4 und die Ecken der Öffnungen 2 miteinander fluchten.In Fig. 6 the closure element 3 is shown with its inserted into the opening 2 insertion region 4 in its mounting position. It can clearly be seen that the corners of the insertion area 4 and the corners of the openings 2 are aligned with each other.

Fig. 8 zeigt eine Seitenansicht auf einen der sechs Eckbereiche des Verschlusselementes 3. Der Rand der Öffnung 2 in der Komponente 1 ist nicht dargestellt. Wie Fig. 8 zu entnehmen ist, sind Teilbereiche der Randbereiche, nämlich die Ecken, von der Öffnung 2 der Komponente 1 einerseits und von dem Einführbereich 4 des Verschlusselementes 3 andererseits nach Art eines Bajonettverschlusses, umfassend jeweils eine Feder 5 und eine Nut 6 ausgebildet. Fig. 8 shows a side view of one of the six corner regions of the closure element 3. The edge of the opening 2 in the component 1 is not shown. As Fig. 8 can be seen, are partial areas of the edge regions, namely the corners of the opening 2 of the component 1 on the one hand and of the insertion 4 of the closure element 3 on the other hand in the manner of a bayonet closure, each comprising a spring 5 and a groove 6 is formed.

Die Feder 5 wird durch den Randbereich der Öffnung 2 gebildet. Die Nut 6 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel in dem Randbereich des Einführbereiches 4 angeordnet. Jede Nut 6 wird zum einen durch eine Fläche 7 des Verschlusselementes 3 und einer eventuell darauf befindlichen Dichtung 10, die in der Verschließposition mit der Außenseite der Komponente 1 in Kontakt ist, und zum anderen durch einen seitlich gegenüber dem Einführbereich 4 vorstehenden Abschnitt 8 gebildet.The spring 5 is formed by the edge region of the opening 2. The groove 6 is arranged in the illustrated embodiment in the edge region of the insertion region 4. Each groove 6 is on the one hand by a surface 7 of the closure element 3 and a possibly thereon seal 10, which in the Verschließposition is in contact with the outside of the component 1, and on the other hand formed by a laterally opposite the insertion 4 projecting portion 8.

In Verschließrichtung 9 gesehen verringert sich der Abstand A zwischen der Fläche 7 des Verschlusselementes 3 und dem Abschnitt 8, da der Abschnitt 8 in Verschließrichtung 9 gesehen schräg in Richtung der Fläche 7, die in der Verschließposition mit der Außenseite der Komponente 1 in Kontakt ist, verlaufend ausgerichtet ist. Hierdurch wird der Rand der Öffnung 2 mit Verdrehen des Verschlusselementes 3 in seine Verschließrichtung 9 zunehmend eingeklemmt und damit das Verschlusselement 3 vor einem ungewollten Lösen klemmend fixiert.When viewed in the closing direction 9, the distance A between the surface 7 of the closure element 3 and the section 8 decreases since the section 8 seen in the closing direction 9 obliquely in the direction of the surface 7, which is in contact with the outside of the component 1 in the closing position, is aligned. As a result, the edge of the opening 2 is increasingly clamped with rotation of the closure element 3 in its Verschließrichtung 9 and thus the closure element 3 is fixed by clamping in front of an unwanted loosening.

Wie in Figur 9 dargestellt ist, sind auf der Fläche 7 des Verschlusselementes 3, die in der Verschließposition mit der Außenseite der Komponente 1 in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel in flächigem Kontakt ist, zwei umlaufende Dichtung 10 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise aufgeschäumt sein können. Die Dichtungen 10 sind in Fig. 8 herausgeschnitten worden. Jede Dichtung 10 dient auch zur Anpassung an verschiedene Stärken der Komponente 1.As in FIG. 9 is shown are on the surface 7 of the closure element 3, which is in the Verschließposition with the outside of the component 1 in the illustrated embodiment in surface contact, two circumferential seal 10 is provided, which may be foamed, for example. The seals 10 are in Fig. 8 been cut out. Each seal 10 also serves to adapt to different strengths of component 1.

Wie beispielsweise in Fig. 7 erkennbar, ist die Nut 6 in der Mitte einer Ecke des Einführbereiches 4 am tiefsten, während die Tiefe der Nut 6 zu den beiden Seiten der Nut 6 hin abnimmt. Die sechs geraden, zwei benachbarte Ecken verbindende Kantenbereiche 11 weisen keine Nut 6 auf.Such as in Fig. 7 Recognizable, the groove 6 in the middle of a corner of the insertion region 4 is the lowest, while the depth of the groove 6 decreases to the two sides of the groove 6 out. The six straight, two adjacent corners connecting edge regions 11 have no groove 6.

Zum Verschließen wird das Verschlusselement 3 in dem in Fig. 8 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel im Uhrzeigersinn verdreht. Damit wird der als Feder 5 dienende Randbereich der Öffnung 2 in die jeweilige Nut 6 des Einführbereiches 4 aufgenommen. Das Verschlusselement 3 zieht sich mit zunehmendem Verdrehen aufgrund der schrägen Ausrichtung zumindest eines Abschnittes 8 selbst zu, so dass das Verschlusselement 3 die Öffnung 2 dichtend verschließt und sich auch nicht lösen kann.For closing, the closure element 3 in the in Fig. 8 shown embodiment rotated clockwise. Thus, serving as a spring 5 edge region of the opening 2 in the respective groove 6 of the insertion 4 recorded. The closure element 3 contracts with increasing twisting due to the oblique orientation of at least one section 8 itself, so that the closure element 3 sealingly closes the opening 2 and also can not come loose.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, weist das Verschlusselement 3 einen außenseitigen Betätigungsgriff 12 auf.As in Fig. 1 illustrated, the closure element 3 on an outside actuating handle 12.
